I've been watching the train availability on April 11 as there is planned work on the section. We land in Rome around 1 pm and our plan had been to train to Orvieto for 3 nights. It now looks like a train that afternoon will not be possible, per this article, and nothing is showing on Trenitalia now after 1200 that day.
Hoping for some advice. I'm hoping to maybe see some buses added, but also not sure I can handle a really long trek with jet lag. We will not rent a car. Thoughts on other options to get to Orvieto? I have tentatively booked a night in Rome and might just do Orvieto if possible the next day.
Our other option is to skip Orvieto, and to go up the coastal line instead. We planned to be in Lucca next. Any suggestions for a quiet town partway between Rome and Lucca that we could actually get to?
